* Lantarnek (Jonathan): I am happy once again to be with you not only in spirit but also in the consciousness of communication. I am Lantarnek. There is a meaningful dimension to human behavior to which you apply the word "forgiveness".

It is a beautiful gesture of the human heart which elevates the human being above the animal fray of attack or be attacked, of defense, of self preservation, for in this action of forgiveness there is revealed the transcendent state of spirit being, one where you understand that the inequalities of human life are transient, and that the lasting values of love and of concern for the future growth of another are far greater. As I am often wont to do, I will alter the spelling and insert "e" into fore-giveness. This is the attitude of the heavenly Parent, to reach out to each child even before the child is aware of need, to give love, to give opportunity for awakening through a lesson resulting in growth. This attitude never requires pardoning on the part of the divine Parent, for God understands the progress of spiritual unfoldment and the stages of maturity and each child's ability to respond and to adapt and to become.

By your fore-giving you offer yourself as a servant's hand to another, and in their seeking they are receptive to the Father's flow of energy and spirit. You need not be skilled or trained, highly accomplished in any manner. You simply place yourself in readiness for the movement of the Father to touch the soul of the child who seeks Him. I come not alone to this circle today. I will allow my fellows to enter into your midst.

* Elyon (Mark): I greet you as well. This is Elyon. I would take this opportunity to lead on the thought pattern of this TR, as this pattern seems befitting at this time to augment the helpful lesson of Lantarnek. This thought pattern is of that aspect of yourselves which is enduring throughout this continuum beginning in time and space and progressing into eternity.

The aspect of your being which is constant through this journey that I refer to is that aspect of your conscious awareness of your consciousness of spiritual perspective. Whereas your surroundings, your situations, your needs, desires, circumstances, and understandings all will fluctuate as you engage in this journey of time, your consciousness becomes augmented along this route but remains at the core of what you take with you.

Evelyn: I am trying to find a tie between this captain image and forgiveness. If we see ourselves as captain we often regard others as our crew who are supposed to obey our commands and live up to our expectations. We need to remember that they are all captains as well. We need to serve as crew members also. There's the forgiveness angle of seeing that others are operating as captains and to not take it personally if they are barking orders; they are just behaving like captains. Beyond that I haven't thought it through.

* Elyon: I would promote your idea that in this analogy of the captain each one would be more appropriately attributed to a very small vessel and, while in charge of your individual vessel, you can provide an example to others of how to trim your sail. Also you are given ample opportunity to see the characteristics of other vessels around you.

While some may appear to tack wildly back and forth or even bump into each other, it is through this race of humanity that you may be forgiving of the many errant attempts of the many individuals around you. Rather than perceive them as obstacles or problems in the way of this journey, they may be seen as those in need of assistance and in need of your forgiveness, because while we are becoming skilled at operating these vessels, there is a great distance yet to cover. We may at times be masters of our vessels and at times be blown off course into another requiring their understanding and forgiveness as well. In fact the seas are teeming with vessels trying to navigate their ways.

Just because you have had some training in the use of your vessel and the elements does not mean that the journey has been finished and that there isn't much to be learned through the trial and error of any journey.

* Sharmon (Jonathan): This is Sharmon. I am excited to be here to make our contact as one of your earthlings, your midway brother. I wish to humbly contribute to these two fine teachers' comments today by injecting one other consideration. Picture a harbor as your planet.

We midwayers are the ones who care for this harbor to coordinate the comings and goings, to see to the safety and well-keeping of the harbor to make sure that those who arrive here are taken care of and those who wish to depart are sent on their ways in due process and expeditiously. Picture the entire coastline of harbors as your system of planets. While each harbor is guided by a Planetary Prince, so is the entire coastline, the system of planets, governed by an able System Sovereign.

Picture an ocean as your local universe, a great vast area through which you may travel and gain these experiences that Elyon speaks of, and now the entire world of navigable bodies of water as the great cosmic universe. You have an adventure ahead of you, and we, the midwayers, are seeing to it that your ship is ready to sail. We are excited to send you forth from this harbor of Urantia to discover all that our great God has laid out for everyone to experience. Thank you.

Mark: Thank you for the service that you and the corps of midwayers provide us. We desire to work more closely with you, our brothers on the planet. We invite you to be more present in our circle so we can work more closely with you.
