* Elyon (Jonathan TR): Blessings to you, your friend Elyon here. I greet you.

It has been mentioned in your discussion your idea of self worth. I wish to increase your sense of worthiness by describing for you the dynamics that contribute to feelings of worthiness or feelings that detract from worthiness.

You have a saying that goes: I have owned this hammer all my life. It has had a few new handles, and I replaced the head once, but I have had it all my life. The makeup of your being is very much like this. When you are feeling unworthy you are often focusing upon an element of your personality makeup detracting from the whole of your being while magnifying a small element. You observe that your actions do not portray what you define to be a son of God. You observe your hammer handle split, weakened, thereby making you less useful to work at hand, and that that flaw may even be disruptive to your integrity. To one who values their tool the observation of a weakness will be readily remedied; the handle will be replaced. For one who cherishes a tool in good working order there is no hesitancy to remove the weakness. The love for yourself implies willingness to replace your flaws with sound elements.

* Machiventa (Mark): I would share this forum with Elyon who so adequately describes the function of the transformation about you and around you while your core remains steadfast. I would build upon his platform to expand his presentation. This is Machiventa.

As Elyon so adequately portrayed, you see yourselves largely in the minute sense of the flaws, whereas your master craftsman, your Father, chooses to see you as the pattern in which you continue to be useful. Why is this that the master craftsman has so carefully gathered you and so carefully and tenderly watches over your needs as a cherished tool? That is that each one of you, though you may follow some similar patterns, is entirely unique in your appropriateness and usefulness to the master craftsman. All hammers do not appear similar because they possess different functions and purposes.

The burden of this is light when one realizes that you are acting in concert with your Creator, your brother, your Father, for the upliftment of your world and those around you. It becomes a joyous task to undertake, and this matter of self worth becomes washed from your being as you immerse yourself in the task at hand. It is human nature to encounter these feelings of limitation, and it is spirit nature which navigates you through these feelings, and divine nature that cleanses you of all doubt. May we all work together for this united purpose, for this upliftment of your world. For the fulfillment of Michael's mission may we all be of one heart and of one mind to fulfill this purpose. May we all rise to the challenge, grapple with our feelings of inadequacy, and rally to the cause. Thank you for hearing me today.

Jonathan: I request that you help us all keep our edges sharp and our handles oiled so we can serve the master craftsman in being about the work of the Father.

* Machiventa: We may lead you to this crossroads, but in the end it is always you individually who decides the depth that you explore the cracks in your handles and the willingness you show to be about the restoration of any shortcomings. I will bring up the discussion you had earlier about your shortcomings being the opportunities for your areas of concern. If you notice that your hammer head is marred, then it becomes your choice as to how to deal with that. Do you ignore that? Do you decide to take your hammer to the grinding wheel and buff it down to a smooth finish again? If your hammer causes you splinters you could choose to still use it and sustain minor injury. You could choose to be about the larger task of replacing the hammer handle. Greater effort is required to replace the handle than to wrap it up. You are the ones who decide at what point the handle is no longer serviceable and must be replaced, and you are willing to put forth the effort to do so. Or perhaps the hammer handle can be useful for a little while longer, as it is until the time that you feel that you are ready to supply the necessary effort to upgrade the existing pattern. These choices fall to you as an individual to find the time and the effort necessary to hone your tools, sharpen your blades, sharpen your handles in preparation for the tasks ahead. I am sure that each one of your here is well up to the task of your personal assessments. You have proven repeatedly you are willing to invest the necessary energy to polish yourselves in preparation for these tasks. I have no reason to suspect that it will be otherwise as time proceeds.

Jonathan: I infer that we ought to not stall in any task because we recognize a flaw. We can wrap that handle in duct tape and get the job done knowing that we will need to get rid of that defect, but we can put ourselves to useful work until the change time. Is that right?

* Machiventa: Human nature is to stall. The tendency of the human outlook is to patch the existing reality, to limp by with the existing pattern until or unless that becomes no longer serviceable to you. At that point you will decide that the duct tape no longer fulfills the requirements for your use of that tool. If you determine early on that the handle is badly cracked and requires immediate attention, then you don't hesitate to focus on the task . .. your tool more serviceable. If you notice some small cracks or dents in your surface you may decide that your effort is best put in another venue at that time, and you are willing to use the tool in the condition that it is. However, you come to find that when the tool is put to its task these more minor flaws are brought to the surface. When you need to put the tool to a severe test you may find the handle breaks off in your hand and requires your immediate attention.

It is of little consequence in the long term perspective that it took you longer or shorter time to administer these changes. The Father is only concerned that you desire to maintain the hammer. The hammer is important to you enough that you will service the hammer and provide what it needs to keep it functioning in your lives. The sooner you are about the task of providing service to your tools, the more effective your tools become. You do not find yourselves falling short when it is time to provide the leverage necessary and your handle at that point gives way. Every one of us as we follow the ascension career notices cracks and weak points in our tools from time to time. We may decide that sometime that may need attention but for right now I have bigger issues to deal with and neglect the replacing of the handle until we rally the necessary energy to be about that. But in the end it is the fact that you will maintain this hammer and you will use it. If it breaks you will fix it. If it is marred you will polish it. Your devotion to this hammer in the end is the important aspect. The condition of this hammer is the measure of effectiveness you will have in this equation.

Jonathan: Thank you. You hit the truth nail on the head!

* Machiventa: And the hammer head sustained no damage. As you note in your own lives some of your favorite possessions may be marred or damaged or chipped or dented but nevertheless they are quite serviceable to you as what they are. In fact, you come to have a sense of security with these tools the way they are; the chip in the handle fitting in your hand as it did last time gives you a sense of stability. So long as that is the case it is not necessary to change this. If in the course of its use it proves unsatisfactory, then is the time you consider replacing the handle with the chip.

Jonathan: You call to mind Jesus' acceptance of the apostles with all their personality traits, his willingness to have Judas even though he knew all was not well in the mind of Judas. Also it calls to mind the Biblical account of Paul requesting the thorn in his side be removed. Alas, he accepted the fact it was not the Father's will. A flaw may be acceptable, that the time is not nigh for its changing.
